Hello and Happy 2021!

Hope everyone is doing well.

I am diving into the hobby as I have always kept fish and I have always wanted to start a reef tank. My kids are excited about the project.

Here’s where we stand currently;
~Purchased a used SC150 and and Skimz UP 39 sump and cleaned both with vinegar and scraped off all the old algae
~We are in the final stages of building a stand
~Bought a new return pump, some of the plumbing for the drains, a titanium heater
~Will get a skimmer today

Looking forward to learning and some great discussions.

Nice to meet you all!
